The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is seeking 250 full-time math tutors for its innovative Apollo 20 project.

Apollo 20 is an urban education initiative of HISD, in collaboration with EdLabs at Harvard University, to significantly turn around chronically low-performing schools in Houston.  One piece of the Apollo 20 project puzzle is high-dosage tutoring from the Apollo 20 Math Fellows.
